Amazing place to get used stuff from old buildings and renovation projects. Everthing from little drawer pull handles to windows & doors to cabinets to slabs of stone to the kitchen sink. Actually they have a whole section devoted to kitchen, laundry, and bathroom sinks! I love browsing through the barrels of tumbled colored glass for crafts projects (I think it's supposed to be used for landscaping.)

Muni Kirkland Division,

Muni's oldest diesel coach maintenance and operations facility opened in 1950 when the area was surrounded by factories, fish processing plants, and warehouses. Now surrounded by zillion-dollar hotels, condos, and Fisherman's Wharf tourist attractions, the cash-strapped public transportation agency wishes it could somehow take advantage of the high real estate value.

Formerly a US Steel warehouse, in 1988-9 the huge building was converted into Muni's third Diesel coach maintenance and operations facility. The roughly triangular SE corner area has non-Muni commercial property including a theater, restaurant and 1 or 2 other businesses.

This facility goes all the way to the corner of 22nd St., and does not repair vehicles. It is far more interesting than that! The L-shaped corner building (which should be included) contains Infrastructure Maintenance administrative offices, the building to the west has a full carpenter shop, electrician's shop, and an upper floor currently used by Signals & Communications and one of Muni's Engineering departments. The largest building contains the Custodial Dept., Special Machine Shop, Track Dept., and the Buildings & Grounds gardeners, locksmith, painters, and stationary engineers.

The full complex is named the "Letterman Digital Arts Center". However the name of the park itself is correctly named "Lucasfilm Park". This has been verified through information, discovered on the Internet.
